Baptism is necessary for salvation. Baptism is for ALL ages. The Lord bears fruit by the proclamation of the pure Gospel through means, like water, for the soothing of their conscience with the Lord. The Anabaptists in their day, and many churches in our day, work to assure individuals that Baptism does nothing. The promises are clear in Scripture: forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and eternal salvation (Acts 2:38-39; Romans 6:1-4; Titus 3:5-8; Colossians 2:12-15). “God’s own child I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ! He because I could not pay it, Gave my full redemption price. Do I need earth’s treasures many? I have one worth more than any That brought me salvation free, Lasting to eternity!” LSB #594 st. 1
